Default 1970 Tran Am Temp Gauge Problems

I am having the weirdest problem. My temperature gauge on my 1970 Trans Am is not working. The gauges were just restored by Auto Instruments.

I ordered and installed the correct Temperature Sending unit from Lectric Limited. I have also tested the wiring. If I stick a ground test light into the sender unit connector the Temp Gauge pegs all the way hot. So this tells me my wiring is perfectly fine.

However, when I drive the car the gauge does not move. A few weeks ago the gauge would move up to 100 but now it does not move at all.

What in the world could it be if my wiring is good, my sending unit is correct, and my gauge moves when I ground the sending unit wire? This is strange.
